At the University of Chicago, student Helen Lyle investigates the legend surrounding Candyman, a ghost with a hook instead of a hand that appears every time his name is pronounced five times in front of a mirror. As part of Helen’s research, a professor explains the historical basis of the legend and the superstitions surrounding it: Candyman is apparently the vengeful spirit of a slave who was mutilated by a crazed mob that accused him of raping a white woman. When Helen decides to repeat Candyman’s name five times, she sets in motion a series of inevitable supernatural events, culminating in gruesome killings in which she herself is the one holding the murder weapon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n \n
